Crozan stiff after Feltham failure

Crozan, who disappointed when only fourth in the Feltham Novices’ Chase at Sandown yesterday, has been reported to be stiff by trainer Nicky Henderson.

The Seven Barrows handler admitted he was mystified by the lacklustre nature of Crozan’s performance, which came on the back of his impressive seven-length defeat of Lough Derg at Cheltenham last month.
